The Big Question (2004)

Directed by Alberto Molinari, Francesco Cabras

Documentary

Overview

Although it was shot on the set of director Mel Gibson’s controversial epic The Passion of the Christ, this thought-provoking documentary is not about the making of the movie. Rather, filmmakers Francesco Cabras and Alberto Molinari delve into the nature of divinity and spiritual beliefs through revealing interviews with Gibson and members of his cast and crew—including stars Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci.

Length 76 minutes

Actors

Mel Gibson | Monica Bellucci | Maia Morgenstern | Rosalinda Celentano | Luca De Dominicis | William J. Fulco | Claudia Gerini | Jim Caviezel

Viewing Notes

These guys shot this doc on the set of Gibson’s Passion, using that film as the backdrop to ask cast and crew and clergy, etc. the big question, which is either “Is there a God?” or “Do you believe in God?” It’s never quite clear b/c they ask a few questions throughout and in the end none of it really matters. Do you really care what Mel Gibson thinks? And he comes across as a genuine asshole even here. It’s only mildly interesting but of no value. Film is shot well and is beautiful to look at, esp. when Monica Bellucci is onscreen.
